Math comes naturally to some, but even simple equations remain baffling brainteasers to others. These math equations went viral for being much more complicated than they seemed — or so simple ...

Now that the pattern is clear, we can apply it to the final equation (8 + 6 = ?). According to the sequence, the multiplier should now be 5. The sum of 8 + 6 is 14. Multiply by 5 → 14 × 5 = 70.

Math can be scary. Just the sight of a complicated math equation, laden with exponents and square root signs and algebraic letters, inspires the same sort of revulsion as an antennae-waving ...
